Akshay Kumar turns 'villain' in USA for Once Upon A Time In Dobara

While on a family vacation in New York,
Akshay Kumar dubbed for the new Once
Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobaara trailer
that talks about the quintessential 'Hero
vs Villain' tussle in the film.

Akshay also ended up devoting quite
some time to a press conference and
media interviews.

Akshay Kumar was on family vacation
with a tour to USA and planned to spend
a month away from the monsoons of
Mumbai. However it has proven to be
difficult for his family to pin the khiladi
down, as he has engaged himself with work all over again even during his
holiday.

"It wasn't entirely planned this way
though," informs a source. "Akshay takes
two family holidays in a year. One in June
and the other in December during
Christmas. He keeps work completely out
of bounds during his breaks and rarely does he make an exception. This was one
of the times he made an exception
because he is very excited about Once
Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobaara. It is
an important film for him. So when
director Milan Luthria decided to fly to New York to get Akshay to do a voice-
over for the new trailer of Once Upon A
Time In Mumbaai Dobaara , Akshay
immediately agreed."

It was a sudden decision though when
Milan and Balaji senior officials took an
impromptu call to use his voice in the
film's second trailer. The core idea was to
showcase Akshay's character as the
villain and how he revels in being evil. When Milan explained the concept to
Akshay and how it would require a voice-
over from him to establish the
quintessential Hero vs. Villain tussle,
Akshay readily gave the green signal.

"Balaji hired a sound studio in Manhattan
close to the Plaza Apartments where
Akshay was staying," the source states,
"In fact, Milan was also booked at the
famous Plaza Hotel so that he would be
in close proximity to Akshay. Balaji went a step ahead and even got a press
conference organized at the same hotel
to make use of Milan and Akshay being
together in NYC."

Meanwhile, Akshay is now in Bangkok
and shooting for Its Entertainment. He
would be returning to India later next
week and then pronto start promotion
for Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai
Dobaara .

The man is indeed on a move!
